Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Country Director for Care International called for the involvement of women in leadership roles in South Sudan to enhance their ability to participate in peace-building and decision-making processes.<\/p>\n

Abel Whande made the appeal on Thursday at the launch of Gender in Emergency (GiE) Project Learning Film aimed at building a critical evidence base for change in humanitarian situation.<\/p>\n

The launch was made under the theme: \u201cStrengthening women leadership and participation in humanitarian situations and response in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

Care director, Whande, said women are able to contribute to conflict resolution and peacebuilding initiatives, when given the chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that the elections are coming, and I know women play a very big role when it comes to democracy, when it comes to their participation in their voice, and they bring peace in most cases,\u201d he told Eye Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn most cases when you see women coming together, they want to make sure that there\u2019s no conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to encourage all of us, that as we work towards this, let\u2019s also ensure that we include them. They must participate in some of these big changes that are going to happen in our country, they must have a voice along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ambassador-designate of Canada to South Sudan, Aly-Khan Rajani said there is a need to enhance women\u2019s roles in leadership to make them role models to other women and girls in grassroots.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rajani said there is no better time to uplift women and promote them to leadership positions other this time of South Sudan\u2019s elections year.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve seen some examples to remove the barriers faced by women and to improve their participation in leadership. And as we\u2019re talking about election year, what better time than to have done this project to talk about what women are capable of doing,\u201d he inquired.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile a project may end and project cycles come and go, please don\u2019t forget this is building roots in societies. This is about changing the way people think when they get exposed to different tools and different issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey see by example when women lead and show that they\u2019re capable, that other women and other girls look up to them and say, well, I can do it too. I want to do it, too. Let\u2019s band together. Let\u2019s make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his part, Ceaser Lupai, Gender in Emergency Project Manager for Care in Wau, stressed the need to harness women\u2019s potential in leadership roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can say women are good leaders because when women lead, we all benefit. We as men, also, we benefit. But when men lead, sometimes the benefit does not go down. But when women lead, it is for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is good that we encourage women to lead. It is important that we give them opportunities. We give them chances so that they can also realize their potential, and then they can keep it.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the participants, Juliet Elino said women are selfless leaders who are capable of managing difficult situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen, we are leaders by nature. From the time we are born, we are able to lead without someone showing us examples. A woman who even did not go to school is able to lead and control her home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m convinced women are leaders because when a woman leads, she always leads for the benefit of everyone, not for her own benefits. So, in everything that she does, she thinks of the interests of the community, not her own interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another participant, Linda Brenda, said women\u2019s role in leadership and governance can be enhanced through trainings, emphasizing on the need to enable women undertake active roles in the forthcoming election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strengthen their leadership through trainings, trainings with programs of leadership and governance in the country. Because if we leave these women behind, they will not come up. Remember, now we are coming towards elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the time for us to come up, to go to the grassroots level, talk to these women, tell them that what a man can do, if even a woman can do it, they can also lead the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
